Check my answer in this post, it might be helpful in your case too.

At the very least, it simplifies a lot those kind of problems.

It is really simple:

Put everything not on a USB stick, but on an external hard drive! Then, use this external drive permanently, everywhere! For example: Make a folder D:\Music (or whatever you like), put all your music there and include the Traktor root folder too (remove it from C:\Users\***username***\Documents\Native Instruments)!

Then open Traktor and go to Preferences --> File Management and replace the paths (as you see in the image below)

Then you simply take this hard drive where ever you go and plug it on any other computer, for example the laptop of a friend who also has Traktor. Now in order to use your stuff (and not his), open Traktor right-click on Track Collection and choose Import another collection. A window opens, then you navigate to your own disk and choose your own collection. Restart Traktor and all your stuff is there, including tags, cues and whatever else!

Finally when you are done, you remove your hard drive and your friend re-import his own collection! And to answer your last question, there is nothing to delete or to care about, since everything was on your disk and not on your friends disk! 😉

Note: When you are at home and you have (lets say) 3 computers with 3 Traktor, if you make the above configuration on every computer, then there is no need to import, export, override etc. ANYTHING! Just plug your disk and open Traktor
